The French Revolution, by Dr. Peter Hammond
The following is a quote taken from Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left:
"...both the Wilson and the FDR administrations were descendants - albeit distant ones - of the first fascist movement: the French Revolution...It produced the first modern dictators, Robespierre and Napoleon, and worked on the premise that the nation had to be ruled by an enlightened avant-garde who would serve as the organic, authentic voice of the 'general will.'...Robespierre summed up the totalitarian logic of the Revolution: 'There are only two parties in France: the people and its enemies. We must exterminate those miserable villains who are eternally conspiring against the right of man...[W]e must exterminate our enemies.'"
